Quality service. Dropped in and no wait and not many people there on a Sunday for brunch. Breakfast was super affordable and yummy. I had the Rialto Burrito. Mom had a Benedict, both of which were tasty and hot! My cappuccino was also marvelous, which isn't always true at breakfast spots. I will definitely go back ! read more

There are stools to sit down when you're waiting for your order and there are a lot of seats to dine in. There is parking around the corner. The servers were blah but they did their job. The jerk salad was very flavorful and the jerk had my nose running which is good. The crab bacon burger was great! The bread pudding had good flavor but I did see and taste the egg. I think making anything with egg requires a lot of practice. I'd definitely come back since it's so close to me. read more

Warning for dining in: watch out for them trying to get you to double tip! They do a mandatory gratuity of 18% (not party based - it was only 2 of us) when charging your card, and then bring another receipt on top that has more tip lines / suggest another 20% tip. The food is decent, but the sneaky tactics really made it a downer. read more

My family & friends made reservations here totaling 17ppl, for my daughter's College graduation which they accommodated wonderfully. Our server was Shree, an exceptionally thoughtful & thorough waitress. We bought our our own cake from a bakery & she let us know upfront it'd be $1per person charge to cut & serve it. Even allowing us to take pics before the staff cut it. The gentleman cutting the cake did way better than I would've done. The bathrooms were also very clean. The entire staff made us feel welcome & we'll definitely be visiting here again soon. Thank you Valentino's for a lovely evening at your restaurant. read more

Valentino's Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Valentino's is not what it used to be, but I do understand that things change. COVID seems to have impacted a lot of local favorites, and they haven't quite bounced back. My last visit was a simple order of strawberry cheesecake to go. Meh at best. I am still will to give them a shot at a simple breakfast one day. read more

Happy Father's Day!!! Once again, great service and good food. See the pics. The platter was my version complete with what I wanted. Mini Belgian waffles with berries versus one big waffle. I added grits. Note: they have cheesey grits not plain. It was good. read more

I love Valentino's, especially for late night. The food is always good. Their garlic bread is tasty and the dipping sauce is delicious. I typically start with their freshly made Caesar salad. Their lamb chops are well seasoned and tender, cooked to perfection every time. Their Shrimp Parmesan is great (I wish they would take the tails off). The marinara sauce is robust and flavorful. Every dish I've had has been really good. The service is good, attentive, but not intrusive. The ambiance is adequate for late night. They also have delivery. I highly recommend it. read more

I order here after a concert late one night. Ordered online and got my food to go. It took about 20 minutes too for them to prepare it. I love the late night hours when you need a bite to eat late. I ordered the mozzarella sticks which were 3/5. The actual mozzarella sticks weren't very hot so the cheese wasn't gooey but the marinara sauce made up for that! It was so flavorful and good and I normally don't like marinara sauce. My main dish was the shrimp and grits. Not I've had the real deal in New Orleans a million times and these have been the best that I've had out side of Louisiana! The shrimp were huge and the sausage was a little spicy. The grits were the perfect texture. And the main event was that delicious sauce they put on top. 10/10 and I can't wait to go back! lol Can't say much about the ambiance since I ordered to go, but I'll be back during regular hours to see what it's like and try something else. No picture because it was late and forgot to snap one before eating read more

We have been dining here for some time and each visit food is always prepared fresh. This past April 30th we decided to dine here for hubby's birthday. We were seated all the way in the corner with a wobbly table. Not the best seat chosen so we moved over to another table. Hubby ordered the lamb chops since he noticed there was a special but it was past the time to order which we didn't notice. I order the Maryland fettuccine which includes clams, shrimp and crab meat. Both dishes came out in a timely manner and both were seasoned well. Service however was a little slow than usual. We had to wait for refills nor were offered bread. Now if they stop serving it after a certain time then they should say so. Over all food was good and would be happy to return. read more

My boyfriend called to place a takeout order, and unfortunately, the customer service he received over the phone was disappointing. The employee who answered was rude, dismissive, and spoke in an unprofessional manner. A courteous attitude goes a long way, especially during a brief interaction like taking an order. While the food may be good, the experience starts with customer service, and this interaction made him reconsider ordering from this establishment. I hope management addresses this so future customers are treated with more respect. read more

Have ordered delivery many times from here as my colleagues really love the caeser salad (dressing is homemade and delectable), and the lamb chops. The portions are large. I would recommend salad dressing on the side as they are a bit heavy handed. A few times my lamb chops weren't well seasoned which is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 but the menu has many options and they are readily available even late night. read more

We loved the food both times we were there after the remodel, but we've never gone back since and probably never will. Why? The automatic 20 percent "tip." First, any place that forces you to tip is being disingenuous. A tip is by definition voluntary and depends on good service. By baking it in, you've just destroyed any incentive for good service. But Valentino's make it worse: They don't even tell you about the tip beforehand -- and it's not just for large parties; we were two people-- and they don't even give it to the servers!!! (Our server told us that and we confronted the manager and they confirmed it.) That's not a tip, people, Despite their tortured explanation of the logic, it's not a tip. It's a lie, and it's a $&@#% ripoff. Pity you have to resort to lying. Your food was excellent -- and I usually tip more than 20 percent for excellent food and service. Bye. read more

My Mom loves Valentinos so she suggested We go for lunch . I was hesitant considering I haven't been to Valentinos in 20 plus years and only remember going there in the wee hours of the night after clubbing . Let me start by saying , I was pleasantly surprised . The inside has been remodeled with a lot of modern details . I wanted Ribs but I like mine without sauce , that wasn't an option so I opted for the New York strip with a side of Mac & Cheese and Collard Greens . The steak was absolutely delicious , tender cooked to perfection . The sides were just ok . My son ordered Fried Flounder & Fries . He enjoyed his meal also . Mom went with Fried Cod , she was satisfied as well . read more

We went in expecting a hole in the wall Italian restaurant. We were pleasantly surprised that it was so much more. The restaurant itself is VERY clean and felt cozy, not cluttered. The service is unbelievably good, with our every whim covered. The menu is well laid out, and the generous portions noticed appropriately. The Veal Parmigiana knocked my socks off, as it is one of the best I've eaten. I am looking forward to either a 2AM dinner, or a Saturday morning breakfast here, as they're open 24 hours a day. read more

Great customer service! Orders included: Honey Old Bay Wings, Crab Cake and Fries, Cheeseburger and Fries, Blackened Chicken and Shrimp Pasta. All delicious!! The complimentary bread and sauce are the best. The restaurant is spacious with an Italian feel! Plenty of TVs so you will miss the game. The manager Shuby was very accommodating as we made plans for dinner prior to the gathering. Our server Anusha was very nice and attentive! There is a short walk to the parking lot but there's plenty of parking. read more

My friend and I stopped by Valentino's for a late-night bite on a Saturday. I love that they're open 24 hours, and there's parking available behind the restaurant. We walked in, asked for a table for two, and were seated immediately. From what I understand, the place was recently remodeled, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the renovation--it's clean, well-lit, and nicely done. They brought out garlic knots for the table before taking our order. I ordered a lemon drop martini, which the server poured table-side--a nice touch. For appetizers, we had the crab dip and honey Old Bay wings, and for my entrée, I chose the shrimp parm, subbing the red sauce for white sauce and opting for broccoli as my side order. Everything was absolutely delicious--I honestly have no complaints or suggestions. The table next to us seemed to have complaints about everything, but I felt like they might have been the issue because I was sitting there really enjoying my meal. The portions were generous, and I had leftovers, which tasted even better the next day. Valentino's is definitely going into my regular rotation! read more

Almost 10 years later and im still not impressed. My aunt and I entered and was greeted and seated quickly. The place was pretty much empty. That should have been a sign. We were given water and menus. Complimentary bread and marinara. We both ordered the stuffed shrimp with crab cake. It didn't read crab stuffed shrimp so I thought the crab cake was separate. Oh were we fooled. When it arrived it was just stuffed shrimp. It came with two sides but, there was no crab cake. They kept telling me the crab cake was on the shrimp. Oh well got past that. We asked for napkins that I never received. I had to go to the counter to get napkins from another employee. Meanwhile, our server sent the manager to our table. I still felt like the menu was misleading. Smh. The food was just ok. Nothing to rave about. I dont even remember the servers name. I guess because I truly didn't care. For the money spent I've had much better service at other places. What pissed me off even more that for a party of two gratuity of damn near $20 was added. Let me tell you, I dont mind paying for good service but, fact is she definitely didn't earn it. No reason to return to this business. read more

Valentino's has always been one of my go-to spots, and it never disappoints. Every time I dine here, I'm reminded why I keep coming back. The service is always pleasant, and the menu is extensive with so many delicious options -- whether you're in the mood for pasta, seafood, steak, or something lighter, there's always something new to try. You'll never get bored, which makes it perfect for repeat visits. The ambience is calm and intimate, especially during the week when things are a little slower. It's the kind of place where you can truly unwind, enjoy great food, and actually hear your company talk. Whether you're going for a solo dinner, a date night, or just catching up with friends, Valentino's will definitely hit the mark. If you're looking for consistently great food in a cozy, relaxing setting, this is the place. read more

This has been my go to for the last 4 years. Mainly for take out, but I had the pleasure of dining in a month ago and loved it. Forgot to take pics which is so unlike me. The inside is gorgeous since they reopened after Covid! Highly recommend. The food never misses and the service for take out is exceptional. The one thing I want to mention about dinning in is they offer a marinara with the breadstick that you don't get for take out! Just order a side even if you have to pay for it!!! Thank me later!! read more

I'm very disappointed with my service that I received on Oct 18, 2024. I'm a regular and have brought you a lot of business from DC and for you to try to get a double tip from me is very distasteful. I gave the young lady cash the exact same amount that they tried to add on my bill after I paid. Stating that she put my entire order under delivery. Which is hard to believe is because we dined in. I explain to the manager which he never said anything or gave me any eye contact. All he keep doing is correcting the receipt which she never stated that gave her the cash. I ask for my money back from her and told them I wish I would give them a 40 tip. I will never be returning to this restaurant ever again. Please watch your receipt when dining in at this place. As a manger he should have ask her and then apologize to me of what happen instead of trying to get a double tip. The girl looked embarrassed when I told her to give me my cash back. He needs more training on how to deal with people. Especially when you're in the wrong. They have lost a customer that brought them a lot of business. I will be informing the people that told about this restaurant to think twice before returning. BAD service. read more

Really nice! The new interiors is really nice with Rudolph Valentino posters on the wall. Service was very good. We had drinks, split an appetizer, and then an entree.

Management had a bad attitude.You need to have a certain personality to work in customer service. Every situation is not the same and shouldn't be treated as though. I hadn't been to Valentino's since I was a kid so I was excited. I ordered a Rosemarie Rosa that's mussels, spinach ,pasta, and pink sauce. As I peeled the mussels from the shells I tasted the pasta it was perfect until I started eating .My first fork full I bit into a sprig of rosemary.Thinking it may have fallen in I just removed it. My second bite was another sprig. I sifted through the sauce and removed 5 sprigs of rosemary from my pasta. I asked for the manager. She asked what the problem was and agreed that's not how it was supposed to be made and offered me a side of spinach.Which is what I thought all of the sprigs were.She asked if I wanted them to make it over but I already pulled all of the mussels from the shells and removed all of the rosemary sprigs. I said I just did all of this I don't know what I'm going to get If I send this back. The manager said well I'll take $5 off. I reminded her that the dish was around $25-$30.I had to pick through it for it to be edible.She said do you want it or not? I said No Thanks she snatched the plate and walked away.I'm disappointed with how the manager chose to handle the situation.The bartender did apologize for the manager being nasty to me about my food being ruined. read more

You ever have an impulse crave and need to satisfy it fast?! That was me today with my crab cake craving. I was running errands and I wanted to stop somewhere quick for lunch. I recalled hearing good things about Valentino's so I decided to give them a try. So happy that I did! I can appreciate a crab cake with little to no filler. Jumbo lump me please! Valentino's did not disappoint. I ordered the jumbo lump crab cake sub with light mayo, lettuce, and tomato. Very tasty! I was thoroughly pleased. It was hot temperature wise; freshly made. Made errand running a lot easier after indulging in that delicious sub. I plan to check Valentino's out again because their menu is pretty big! read more

They now charge $6.30 per slice and it's literally half of the old slice.... Why raise prices and cut the portion in half..!??? One or the other. I won't go back because they were already charging over $5 a slice.. but to charge more and reduce portion sizes is a bit much. read more

I never been so Disgusted over a salad. If someone wants extra dressing you use knowledgeable portions. I ordered from hear before and it was good . But this time i am extremely disappointed. I mean this is what you except as a business as satisfactory to a customer? I mean its a Caesar salad with chicken . And its not hard to make nor is it hard to mess up. Yes i ordered extra dressing but come on !! This is Inedible and down right disappointing to send this out as a business you should ashamed . Being in the food industry myself for 20 years and never have i seen this before. You should ask yourself would you eat this ? Personally I i would of called . But looking at how drenched the salad is and how gross this looks . Definitely can't go untold. The pizza hut can make a better salad then this . Will never order again. read more

Wow Valentino's delivers! I couldn't believe it when the DoorDash driver handed me the bag. It is 5x as heavy as the food I ordered last night! With all the sides like bread, veggies, etc this meal is like 3 meals! The portions are crazy generous and the food is high quality and delicious. It's rare to find both at the same place! Not sure why this restaurant has 3.5 stars??? I'm one picky foodie and this place deserves 5 stars. I ordered a Greek Salad and the simplest pasta spaghetti with marinara sauce. And a breakfast sandwich for tomorrow. I haven't read the other reviews but if it's because of the cost of their seafood be lucky Valentino's still has seafood. Many restaurants discontinued it because of supply chain issues and fear customers wouldn't pay the increased costs. I think it's honorable such a Baltimore staple has the integrity to keep with its menu and what their customers want. read more

My husband and I first time here and I was very happy overall. The atmosphere is family friendly, laid back and surprisingly pretty quiet. We were seated immediately when we arrived. Our waiter was great,friendly and the food was really good. I got the lamb chops and they were really good, I asked for medium but they were a little over, but the flavor was on point so I didn't mind at all. My husband has the porterhouse,he asked for medium but it came out over as well .. he mentioned it to the waiter and tried to get through it the best he could but he could not. The waiter noticed his distress and got the manager. The manager came over and replaced the steak no problem. Kudos to our waiter for being very attentive not just to our needs but to the reactions we had to the taste and appearance of our food. Bottom line... We enjoyed dinner and will visit again soon... And the menu is everything... Two thumbs up!! read more
